Given my current scenario with this recently purchased house, if you were going to rent out to the two friends to offset the cost of the mortgage - would you keep things simple and do this "under the table" without all of the legal paperwork, or would you do this "officially" with all the necessary paperwork and legal forms making me the official "landlord" renting out to two tenants.The way I see it is this.. keeping things under the table would make things simple with my two friends and obviously require less paperwork.

It is not as simple as paying off the taxes and getting the property.
